Homemade Shisha

[sguittap]

ive read quite a bit of forums and homemade shisha recipes. but really hardly anyone has posted vids or pics to show for this. its kinda hard to get the recipe right on the first couple of batches. ive been smoking hookah for the past four years and this past year i moved to a state that its hard to come by shisha. and when you do, its expensive. so i decided to make my own shisha using rolling tabacco, vegetable glycerine, and molasses as the base ingredients. i know that no matter what you do you cant get rid of the background flavor of tabacco and it just makes things worse when you try to drown out that flavor. so does anyone have any good suggestions or post good vids or pics of a good example?

I've never done it but always wanted to but I've read that people wash the tobacco with very hot water over and over again many times ot eliminate the flavor

you need rough tobacco, glycerin and and additves like molasses for the flavor.
but you can also make zaghloul by simply not washing the tobacco and adding glycerin and some unflavored molasses.

i know the above description is very very basic. i remember reading a topic on this about a year ago when i joined the forum
and the person who started the thread said that he mixed jam with tobacco in a pan and then put that in an even larger pan
that was filled with water to cook it au bain marie (i`ll have to look up the english term for this). in the end when the tobacco
was flavored he put the glycerin on it. i will try to search for the thread.
